Introduction
Trans people are already participating in a wide variety of sports and leisure activities, enjoying the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and sharing the social and competitive aspects of such activities.

They also contribute to sport and leisure activities in a variety of ways as officials, coaches, trainers and administrators in paid and voluntary capacities. Their right to do so, and the benefits the sport and leisure sector gains from this involvement, should not be denied. Government believes that
Everyone deserves to have access to the very best sports opportunities. Sport has an important role to play in meeting national health targets and in improving quality of life for all
Press for Change agrees.
We believe that leisure service providers have a duty towards those trans people who wish to take part in activities – a duty to protect them from from harassment and other unfounded discrimination, and provide opportunities for them to benefit from physical activity in the same way they would protect other groups such as women, those of different ethnicity, and those with disabilities.
This leaflet is intended to help you understand trans people and to provide practical ideas which can help you to help trans people to continue to have a healthy lifestyle which includes exercise and social activities.
